Interestingly, the four-second footage shows the UFO flying at a constant speed without dropping altitude.
The object appeared suddenly and moved erratically in and out of the camera's view.
The clip was obtained by Dustin Slaughter, a leading UFO investigator, through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request - and was shown to the public by UFO podcaster Jeremy Corbell.
It comes two years after the first still image from the video was declassified by the Pentagon.

FROM THE CLOUDS 'Disc-shaped' UFO 'spotted by US military' in newly released eerie footage
The image was part of a classified briefing for US officials and was later released to the public.
It's considered part of the ongoing investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) by the US intelligence community.
Corbell said at the time: "For the first time, we are releasing a military filmed image of a UAP over an active conflict zone,' he said.
'UAP pose a significant risk to our service men and women, and this case highlights this – and is unfortunately not unique.
'Origin, capability, operator and intent have not been determined in relation to this intelligently controlled UFO over Mosul, Iraq.
"At a minimum UAP pose a fundamental intelligence and combat identification problem that must be addressed.'
'Disc-shaped' UFO spotted by US military in eerie footage newly released to public - 'It has implications that are huge'
Meanwhile, another declassified UFO footage showed a similar mystery metal orb soaring above the ground - leaving US officials puzzled.
In 2023, A testimony was heard at Capitol Hill, Washington DC, as the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office revealed the shocking clips.
The videos released in the declassified cases are said to have been observed by US military drones.
The footage showed a mystery "metal orb" as it hovered and flew across open airspace.
The incidents were believed to have been recorded in the Middle East and South Asia.
Corbell has been behind a string of high-profile leaks featuring encounters between UFOs and the US military one which was played at a landmark hearing held by Congress.
He urged the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office to dedicate resources to 'this enduring mystery on behalf of the American and global public'.
Corbell had previously directed 2018 documentary film Bob Lazar: Area 51 and the Flying Saucers.
It tells the story of Lazar, who claims to be a former US government physicist who worked with tech from UFOs.
It comes after a picture claiming to show a 1,000ft wide silver UFO flying over the US was released by an infamous Pentagon whistleblower.
The picture was allegedly snapped by an airline pilot in 2021 while flying 21,000ft above the Four Corners Monument - spanning New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.
The spooky picture shows what looks like a circular object floating above the Earth.
The UAP Disclosure Fund shared the image on X, and wrote: 'Captured near Four Corners at FL20 — estimated 600 – 1,000 ft in diameter, silver-hued, disc-shaped.'
'Several speakers confirmed Department of Defense and Intelligence Community hold hundreds of similar UAP images + sensor files still classified.
'It's time for full declassification and open scientific analysis.'
But sceptics were quick to challenge the discovery - claiming the photo merely showed irrigation circles that are common in desert climates.

Our mum is UK's most infamous female gangster…we played with sawn-off shotguns at 3 & she hid dad's grisly death from us
Both Neil and Mel admitted they became 'reckless' to help them cope with their unique and tragic situations FLESH & BLOOD Our mum is UK's most infamous female gangster…we played with sawn-off shotguns at 3 & she hid dad's grisly death from us Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Neil Calvey was just nine months old his dad walked in from work, sliced open a sack of used bank notes and poured them over his head. Baby Neil sat playing with thousands of pounds as his jubilant dad took a picture to put in pride of place on the mantelpiece. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 13 Linda Calvey had the two children with her first husband Mickey Credit: Supplied 13 Neil and Mel lost their dad and then mum Linda was jailed Credit: Mirrorpix 13 Linda Calvey with baby Melanie Credit: Supplied 13 Mickey Calvey, pictured with newborn son Neil, was shot dead when the kids were seven and four Credit: Supplied It may sound far-fetched, but as the son of Mickey and Linda Calvey - two of Britain's most notorious armed robbers - that is not his most outrageous story. Now for the first time Neil and his sister Melanie are opening up about their childhoods which were moulded by untold riches, but also crime, violence and loss. Mickey was shot dead in a failed armed robbery when the kids were aged just seven and four. So mum Linda decided to continue with the family business and became the most notorious female gangster in British history - The Black Widow. She was the first woman to be charged with gangland murder in Britain and was convicted of shooting dead her lover Ronnie Cook and jailed for life. This meant Neil and Mel had lost both their mum and dad to their lives of crime. Now in a new BBC podcast they reveal what it was like to live a childhood as the kids of prolific armed robbers. Neil says: 'When my dad got killed and my mum went to prison, it was like falling into a black hole. You just don't know which way to turn.' Mel adds: 'I was angry. I'd already lost my dad, then I lost my mum. I told her that. I was about 14, and I asked her, 'Why did you do that to us?' I was bitter for years. 'It was like drinking a poison that festered in me. It's like I walked into a party at 14 and didn't leave until I was in my forties. 'Black Widow' killer Linda Calvey reveals moment she slapped 'most hated woman in UK' as she tells of time behind bars 13 Linda has told all ion the new podcast Credit: BBC 'I was reckless. For years I was just on another planet.' One of Neil's earliest memories is playing outside aged just three-and-a-half with what turned out to be a real sawn-off shotgun. He says: 'I thought it was just another toy gun; I'd found it behind the sofa. I was outside running around with it when one of the neighbours knocked on the door. My mum just said, 'Oh, he's got loads of guns.' She thought it was a toy, but it wasn't.' Life of extremes Neil remembers the good times and being able to enjoy the fruits of his parents' ill-gotten gains, but he concedes it was a life of extremes. He explains: 'I suppose it was a little bit different from the norm. I mean, my mum and dad used to be called Bonnie and Clyde by my friends. 'We had some really good times, when we were having it good it was really, really good. Lovely houses, lovely clothes, nice cars. 'Then you had the flip side which was the polar opposite. As a kid growing up you were either at the top of the tree or at the bottom. There was no in between.' Mel was just 13 when she went on a spending spree to Hamley's toy shop with money she found under Linda's bed. While dad Mickey was in-between armed robberies, he was a stay-at-home dad to Mel and Neil. I was bitter for years. It was like drinking a poison that festered in me. It's like I walked into a party at 14 and didn't leave until I was in my forties. I was reckless. For years I was just on another planet Melanie Calvey Mel says: 'I remember coming home from school one day and he was in prison, and I come home and I didn't know he was coming out. 'So I ran up and give him a hug and he said, 'I'm going to cook dinner tonight, what do you want? Paella or Spaghetti Bolognese? That was his two dishes he was really good at [sic].' But the family's kitchen table where the kids would eat their dinner doubled up as the planning desk for Mickey and his cronies. And it was one of those plans that went wrong and ended in Mickey's death - he was shot by police during a botched robbery in early December 1978. But Neil and Mel were oblivious to their father's death, with mum Linda deciding not to tell them until after Christmas. 13 Linda attending the inquest into Mickey's death in 1979 Credit: Alamy 13 The children didn't go the funeral of their father Credit: Alamy 13 Linda with Neil and Mel at the book launch for Black Widow at The Blind Beggar pub Credit: Supplied They didn't even go to their dad's funeral. Mel says: 'I was staying with my mum's brother and his wife, and looking back now it sort of makes sense, every time the news came on they kept turning the telly off.' Neil's recollection is hazy, but at the inquest into Mickey's death a nurse who got to him after he had been shot said his last words were: 'Tell my wife and kids that I love them.' Neil says: 'That broke my heart. It still does to this day.' Jailed for murder Linda wasn't to stay alone for long. She soon became romantically involved with one of Mickey's associates, Ronnie Cook. He showered Linda with gifts and luxury holidays, but she says he became controlling and she turned down his marriage proposal. Linda picked up where her husband Mickey had left off and became part of a gang organising a series of post office robberies in which she claimed to have made more than £1million. Her first conviction in 1986 resulted in her being sentenced to seven years imprisonment, of which she served about three years - half her sentence. And around 18 months after being paroled she was found guilty of the murder of her ex-lover Cook by shooting him in the head, meaning she was heading back to prison for an even longer stretch. I thought it was just another toy gun; I'd found it behind the sofa. I was outside running around with it when one of the neighbours knocked on the door. My mum just said, 'Oh, he's got loads of guns.' She thought it was a toy, but it wasn't Neil Calvey She spent time in prison alongside some of Britain's most infamous female killers including Moors Murderer Myra Hindley and Cromwell Street killer Rose West. Linda was behind bars for 18-and-a-half years for Cook's murder - meaning Neil and Mel spent much of their childhood and early adult years without both parents, which had a profound effect on them both. She was released on parole in 2008, and she and the kids had a lot of catching up to do - and a lot of animosity to overcome. Neil reflects: 'It was a great life when it was nice, but when it went wrong it went properly wrong. 'I think we've had rows. I've said, 'Why didn't you ever think of me and Mel? You were thinking of yourself, your kudos, I'm Linda Calvey, I'm a big gangster girl'.' Mel adds: 'I got angry that she'd done that, I've got to be honest. I'd already lost my father and now I'm losing my mother. So I was very angry over it.' 13 Linda was jailed for murdering lover Ron Cook 13 Mel admits she went off the rails after her mum was jailed Credit: Supplied 13 Neil. pictured with mum Linda, turned to alcohol Credit: Supplied Reckless Neil and Mel said they turned to drugs and alcohol to help them cope with their unique and tragic situations. Neil says: 'Over the years with my mum going away and ending up with the murder and stuff I found myself turning to alcohol and other dependents to try to numb my mind. 'My mind was racing all the time, it would never let things go.' Mel adds: 'I was quite a handful, I'd gone quite wayward because of how my life had been. 'I was quite reckless, a lot of drugs, a lot of drinking. I just didn't care about nothing.' I was quite reckless, a lot of drugs, a lot of drinking. I just didn't care about nothing Melanie Calvey Despite the pain, there are also moments of reconciliation. Neil adds: 'I might have been angry with the situation, but I never blamed my mum. I'd still choose her. And my dad. It's just a shame how it all went.' Mel agrees: 'I'd still choose them, but I'd want it to be a different way. 'I used to be envious of my friends whose parents had jobs, mortgages, dinner on the table. That's what I wanted. A normal life. 'I never had that. So if I could have them back again, that's what I would want.' Listen to Gangster: The Black Widow on BBC Sounds from August 8.
